SUMMARY:When We Can't: (Dis)Ability\, Obligation\, and the High Holidays
DESCRIPTION:3 Elul High Holiday Preparation Opportunities with Rabbi Noah Arnow \n\n\n\nJewish tradition calls us to hear the shofar\, fast on Yom Kippur\, and dwell in the sukkah—but what happens when we can’t? Through the lenses of halakha\, theology\, and lived experience\, we’ll explore how Jewish tradition responds when we can’t observe these mitzvot in the expected way. Together we’ll discover that these questions are not only about disability\, but about what it means for all of us to serve God as the people we are. \n\n\n\nWednesday\, August 19 at 7pm on Zoom\nHearing the Shofar: Listening Beyond Sound \n\n\n\nWednesday\, August 26 at 12pm on Zoom\nFasting and Feeding: When Yom Kippur Means Eating \n\n\n\nSaturday\, September 5 at 8:30pm (before Selichot) in person\nDwelling with Joy: When the Sukkah Isn’t Accessible \n\n\n\nLearn More on our webpage\nSessions 1 & 2 require signing up to get the Zoom link

SUMMARY:Our Annual Wake-Up Call: What the Shofar Asks of Us
DESCRIPTION:During the month of Elul\, as we prepare for the High Holy Days\, our tradition calls us to hear the sound of the shofar. The shofar is more than a ritual instrument; it is Judaism’s annual wake-up call. \n\n\n\nCome explore the meaning behind this ancient practice and discover ways to make listening to the shofar part of your own Elul journey. This is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the shofar’s message and learn how the practice of listening can bring greater meaning\, intention\, and reflection to the month of Elul. \n\n\n\nContinue the experience with a shofar clinic! Stay after the program for an optional shofar clinic with Betsy Cytron. Bring your own shofar and learn the techniques behind sounding the calls that have awakened Jewish hearts for generations. Beginners and experienced blowers are welcome. \n\n\n\nRSVPs Appreciated
